It explains the role of the multidisciplinary team, and covers the basic anatomy and physiology required for good care of women, alongside techniques for examination, record-keeping, and clinical governance. The handbook discusses paediatric and adolescent gynaecology, menstrual and bleeding disorders, hormone and endocrine disorders, and other issues with women’s health.
